The Sixth Annual Servant Leadership Day will be held on
Thursday, April 20, and is a celebration of Seton Hall's
commitment to forming students as "servant leaders in a global society."
Sponsored by the Center for Vocation and Servant Leadership and the
Office of Mission & Ministry, it is made possible by the generous
benefaction of Colleen and Hank D'Alessandro, Regent. Its purpose is to
provide inspiration to the Center's Servant Leader Scholars and to all
the University constituencies dedicated to the principles and practice
of "servant leadership."

To celebrate this event, all members of the Seton Hall community are
invited to a talk given by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, on Thursday,
April 20, from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. in the Chancellor's Suite. His topic
is "Saint Teresa of Calcutta: Model of Servant Leadership."

Mother Teresa's life and words give new meaning to understanding
servant leadership. Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, was personally invited
by Mother Teresa to become a priest in the order she founded. He is
Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers, and Editor
(with commentary) of Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, (Doubleday, 2007).
He was appointed Postulator of her Cause of Beatification and
Canonization, and is Director of the Mother Teresa of Calcutta Center.
He has served worldwide, including Moscow, Calcutta, Tijuana and Rome.

He has a PhD in Organizational Psychology from Saybrook
Institute, San Francisco, as well as a MA in Philosophy from the
University of Manitoba, and a MDiv in Theology from St. Joseph's
Seminary, Dunwoodie.
